This review explores the application of Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks, a specialized type recurrent neural network (RNN), in field polymeric sciences. LSTM networks have shown notable effectiveness modeling sequential data and predicting time-series outcomes, which are essential for understanding complex molecular structures dynamic processes polymers. delves into use models polymer properties, monitoring polymerization processes, evaluating degradation mechanical performance Additionally, it addresses challenges related to availability interpretability. Through various case studies comparative analyses, demonstrates different science applications. Future directions also discussed, with an emphasis on real-time applications need interdisciplinary collaboration. The goal this is connect advanced machine learning (ML) techniques science, thereby promoting innovation improving predictive capabilities field.

Basaltic pumice has a black or gray appearance due to its iron and magnesium-rich komatiitic tuff composition. Pumice's porous structure allows the production of various polymer-based bio-composite materials for biomedical applications. This study developed samples by incorporating basaltic powder at 2.5, 5.0, 7.5, 10.0 percent concentrations into an elastomeric polyurethane (EPU) matrix. The surface elemental particles were investigated using SEM/energy diffraction X-ray technique. physical, mechanical, thermal, melt-flow, morphological properties bio-composites studied experimentally. Findings showed rise in Shore hardness tensile modulus parameters declined elongation. According thermal study, introducing resulted modest drop stability EPU improvement against mechanical deformations. Pumice loadings raised melt flow extrusion torque values EPU. observation homogeneously distributed matrix is used as visual evidence investigate highest performance among composites sample with lowest loading rate 7.5% pumice. Overall, BP effective reinforcing agent EPU-based low additive percentages.
